But if you can get a player in the late first that the scouts absolutely love with two second rounders, believe you have to look at it. I get the extra lottery ticket argument, but something to be said for quality over quantity.
Granted it is the Hockey News but their draft preview shows a drop off in talent after the first round. They say this draft is deep in solid prospects, with a lot of projected 3rd liners and 4-5 defencemen. If you can trade up to get a top six forward or a 2-3 defenceman, believe you have to seriously consider it.
